DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Next step, kind of in whatever order you feel like, is taking the hoses loose on the car. There's a mass of hoses on a car. Dan is taking off the upper-radiator hose right now. There's heater hoses. These are both heater hoses. This is a vacuum hose to supply the power brakes. This is another vacuum hose that operates the fuel-pressure regulator. All of these hoses, they do different things. Who cares? Unplug them, label them, if you're new at this, if you can't remember where they go. We've done enough of this so we don't bother labeling them. So Dan is going to go around the engine and kind of de-hose it, just pull them loose here and there so he can get everything taken apart. One interesting hose that is a real tricky one to work with, Fords have a bypass hose on the water pump there, so that's one he'll have to take off and set aside separately.
